@WW2Facts Mr. Ambrose's book about Lewis & Clark is also a must read. Was given to me as a present...I wondered "why me?" Then couldn't put it down. On his disagreements with Max Hastings about Normandy, Max is 100% right.
@WW2Facts Last Stand is extraordinary. For me BEST IN SHOW is Rise and Fall by W.Shirer. I learned a lot about Normandy from the books by C.Ryan and especially Max Hastings. My father (WWII combat POW) didn't trust Shirer..."how did he get that close?"
